ERs TO BE HHLD HIRE TO-DAY.

10 be Returned Here-Tbe
Terminal "slate."

The motion leading TO this action on
the part OF the board was made by the
Richmond directors and was seconded
by Mr.. Alfred Sully, who is president
of both companies. The announcement
floated around the city rapidly, and
there was general expression of plea
sure. This oiten-promised and long
deferred act OF justice will not only be
gratifying news to our people, but will
make the Legislature much more kindly
disposed towards the Danville company.

FROM new YORK..
The following special telegram to the
Di.potch wos received last night:
Mr.. Alfred Sully, president Of The
Richmond and West Point Terminal
Company, headed a DEL CATION this AZ
ternoon which left on the $40 limited
express from jersey City ca route for
Richmond, where they go to attend the
annual meeting of the company there
tomorrow. Besides Mr.. Sully there
were General f. VI. Logan and Edward
Lauterbach, the general counsel OF the
company. They have with them the
proxies to be used at the election, which
they state are sufficient in number to
elect the ticket made up at the confer
ence held Mt the Windsor Hotel, in this
city, week ago last Saturday night.
This ticket has on it the names OF Will
liam Rockefeller, of Standard-0il fame {;
Roswell p. Flower, and II. L. Wilson,
well-known bankers. In the latter part
of last week these three mentioned men
announced that they wouldnot be elected
to the board, but Calvin S. Brice, one of
the present directors, said yesterday af-
ternoon "These men will be elected.
Their names are on the ticket for which
proxies were solicited, and those men
who were authorized to get the proxies,
and who now hold them, have no option
in the matter but to vote for the regular
ticket.
"After the election these three men or
any others can, of course, decline to
qualify, but as the matter stands now
their names will be on the ticket to be
voted tomorrow"
"Will the directors organize in Rich
mond and elect their officers 2"
"No they will come back here to or
ganize."
The stock of this company was fea-
ture in the market here to-day. The
preferred at 5Sc. declined to 53c. and
closed at soc. The common opened at
23ic.; fell off as low as 205c., and closed
at 2lIc asked, 2lc. bid.
The Flower party, which includes
Messrs. Wilson and Rockefeller, claim
TO have disposed of all their holdings,
and say that they now have no interest
whatever in the property and that they
sold out before the proxies were asked
for.
1t is generally believed that they have
sold out and at loss, for the stock
which they threw on the market they are
credited with having bought last year at
high prices.
1t has not yet been determined who
shall take the places of these men, but
Mr.. Swann's name has been mentioned
in Wall street to-day for one of the
vacant places which will be created in
the board.
No conclusion at all has been reached
concerning the Richmond and Danville,
anditis probable that nothing will be done
here until after the Terminal matter has
been settled.
RICHMOND DIRECTORS.
Messrs. James b. Pace, James II.
Dooley. and Il. d. Christian, of this
city, all largely interested in both the
Terminal and Danville companies, will
arrive this morning from New York.
When they left early in the week they
expected to return before now, but their
engage ments have been of such nature
that they could not sooner return.
